SCP Resource Finance works as one generalist team: bankers staff deals across these sectors rather than joining a group, so there is no group to pick when you apply. Metals-and-mining-only investment bank whose Canadian office is in Toronto; its investment banking is presented as capital access plus three advisory services, not as sector teams.

Summer Analyst · Canada
The independents recruit on their own campus cycles rather than a common one, and the spread is wide: some post in the autumn for the summer after next, while others close as late as the end of January. Postings often sit on school career boards rather than a public careers page, so check both. BSO has not confirmed a timetable for SCP Resource Finance on an official page: this records that the intake exists and what the category's cycle looks like, not a published date. Confirm with the firm before you plan around it.
Co-op / Off-cycle intern · Canada
Fall and winter terms are a real route in at this size — the classes are smaller than the summer one and the competition is thinner, and a good off-cycle term usually converts. BSO has not confirmed a timetable for SCP Resource Finance on an official page: this records that the intake exists and what the category's cycle looks like, not a published date. Confirm with the firm before you plan around it.
